§ Colonel ASHLEYThe accounts of the London electricity supply companies for the year 1924 have not yet been received, and the information asked for is, therefore, not yet available. The corresponding figures for 1923, so far as they are available at the moment, were:
£ Total sum paid in ordinary dividends 808.000 Total set aside for depreciation and reserve 1,374,000
